This past Saturday in Athens, Ohio, students of Ohio University filled the streets of the small city to celebrate the their much anticipated Homecoming! Floats and marchers from all different clubs and organizations walked proudly down Court Street in honor of the event.
Saturday at 10 in the morning, the band kicked off the parade playing enthusiastic music pumping up the city for the big game! Members from greek life, student council, political candidates, different clubs, and residents from all the unique halls walked in the parade. Not only were there participants from Ohio University there, but the townspeople of Athens were represented as well. The parade ended with the Alumni Band showing off their age and talent.
Later that evening, students and alumni joined together in tailgating before the big game against Ball State. Food and activities were available to entertain before the game. The Ohio University's men's glee club honored our country and school by singing the National Anthem and our Alma Mater. Starting the game, there was a sense of promise, but it slowly faded at half time. To pump up our spirit, 110 and the Alumni band played great hits such as "Raise Your Glass" and "Play that Funky Music" and showed off their dance moves. However, the great music didn't change the fate of the game, the Bobcats lost by 3 in a nail biting ending.
Overall, Homecoming 2011 was a great way for the university and the community to get together and celebrate.
